I find this really weird ....
Basically, battery drains REALLY fast from 100%. After a day off charge (around 8/ 9 hours away from home) it's dropped significantly. This amounts to about...
100% - 70/ 80% in morning from about 20 mins web browsing on wifi. After having it off, in my pocket doing nothing other than (supposedly) sleeping, battery life has dropped way below 20% (it varies). I started charging it after getting home though, but had to leave with it only at 33%. That was at about 6:30. It is still at 33% now .
What the fudge is happening? In the time from being at 30% I even texted and made calls... I even kept my phone on previously at 122- 480MHz SmartassV2 but it was running between 122- 614MHz SmartassV2 from when it was 33% ?
I know there are tons of threads about battery life, but this just stuns me. Please help Main Q: What is happening + how do I fix it :cyclops:
SOLVED: After using LMCFroyo I have concluded that the problem is that Gingerbread ROMs are the cause of fast battery drain for our G1s..... basically stick to Froyo
i'd say u need a battery replacement...
same thing happened to my G1 sometime ago...
battery behavior was insanely ridiculous... unless i'd keep it on charge, it'd shut down in say 5 mins of usage!
get a new battery... they are like maybe 10$ or under...
I think its down to a number of things, but mainly the rom your on. I just tried a gb rom, finding battery drained in 6 hours. Back with lmc froyo now, and back to normal battery drain, with battery draining in 24 hours at least.

I was using tvall's CM7, I'm trying GinSense atm. I flashed LMCFroyo, but I missed all the advanced CM options... could give Biffmod a go I suppose. Thanks anyway.

I tried biffmod but can't remember how the battery behaved i'm afraid.I find lmcfroyo has a nice balance of speed, reliability and battery life. Mine was just a standard install.

hmmm... I still don't think I could live without any advanced options, so I thin kI'd prefer a CM based ROM. I'll see how GinSense performs, but it sounds as though Gingerbread is the problem.
Update: I've narrowed it down to either Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo (or one of the few variants of this).... I'm also thinking of Dreamteam Froyo because I like tvall's stuff....but if LMC is really that good I reckon I could hold on till ryree0 releases the latest update which he just posted about, plus it's actually up to date and supported.... so what do you guys think?
Personally I find lmcfroyo better than biffmod and fbl, but to be honest battery life and reliability are most important to me. I'd give it a try before any update, as it works fine, plus you'd notice the improvements when there's an update.
Edit: If you do go for fbl I recommend icsfbl, as in my sig. Its a nice blend of looks and fbl speed.

Thanks I'l give LMC another go and stick to it... so the general concencus (that looks wrong whichever way I spell it) is that new Froyo builds are better than old abandoned ones that were good in their time? Oh yeah, and when you say "battery life and reliability" are more important to you, does that mean you think Biffmod + co. are faster but not as good in other aspects? lol, this has turned into a Froyo discussion thread (sorry)

Yeah, i think you summed up pretty well! I can't believe the battery life with lmc actually - thinking about it that's what i like about it the most! I probably have the most basic and miminalistic set up going, so it should work as well for you. Removing hotmail from all my devices also helped i think, but thats just another issue in my quest for improved battery life!

One last q (sorry)
Thanks everyone for all your help, I've just got one last question: I'm thinking of still trying a different Froyo build based on CM, just for comparison, so would you recommend Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo.... I think the latter is more up to date, but it doesn's specifiy which version it is... thanks for all your help to my problem anyway :laugh:

Please! I know that 2.2.1 is the new rage on the Milestone but not everyone wants to run a beta/buggy release yet that's not that great on battery.
Remember when XP Beta/Vista Beta/7 Beta came out? Some people ran them, but many eager tweakers still dual booted because a beta OS is not meant to be 24/7 stable.
Well same here. I don't mind playing with 2.2.1 from time to time, but I'd like a stable Eclair ROM.
I know there are Eclair ROMs out there, but calling all ROM devs, please don't just ditch 2.1 like that. There are great ROMs already out there, but we'd all appreciate it if you all kept up the great work and added/fixed stuff in those already awesome 2.1 ROMs.
I tend to agree. 2.2.1 is just too buggy and uses too much battery imo.
Telus lite is dammed nice

You did not try Cronos 1.5.0 did you? Anyhow I will bump a question to Feeyo if he could build up an Eclair AOSP rom.
Like 89luca89 said, there already are Eclair ROMs. And they were prety much developed to what they can be, so rly no point to further develop them, except for some theme changes not much can be improved on them.
It is hardly a month since 2.2.1 GOT leak, and the worse hickup(battery drain) seems to be finaly brought to Eclair level or will be in near future in some ROMs.
Maybe the last reason to use Eclair now is if you need cifs.ko module and some others not yet made for 2.2.

There's bugs. Look at the Telus lite thread and people talk about bugs. HoNo's own ROM has the music bug that brings it to the original Telus 2.1 level.
Which 2.2.1 rom has anywhere the batter life of the eclair roms? I'm nearly 16 hours into this charge and after heavy use I still have 40% battery left and I'm overclocked to 800mhz. I've tried a couple 2.2.1 roms and none come close to the performance I'm getting with the eclairmod. When battery life is as good as this, perhaps ill switch butbfor now I have no reason to switch.

Used it. It's pretty good but honestly 2.2.1 just isn't as fast as 2.1 right now... at least not yet

The last cm6 for milestone is way way better -batterywise- than stock 2.1,of course much faster,but the battery life is fantastic if you install it properly and maybe use conservative governor.
At 1000 mhz i m getting about 30 full hours with a little talking and a quite lot of surfing (i mean hours) both wifi and 3g or 2g if i want my battery to last e

well there is enough 2.1 and 2.2.1 ROMs around for everyone. I don't see the need for more.
I am about to flash my first ROM and looking for quick recommendations on a good ROM.
Speed is more important than battery life, and apart from that do have any other specific requirements
Mine.

No one can give you an objective answer. And this belongs in Q&A.
I don't need anything too specialized yet. Just something recent & popular & widely used. ie the top favourites around here.
Thanks. Will take a look at yours. Are they some of the most popular around here?

Take a look at Doc's. Fastest interface and best GPS I've ever had. Plus you can easily customize your own rom using the online kitchen
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882397
Kitchen: www.romkitchen.org
Serendipity 2.0 is THE best ROM out there as far as speed goes imo.
It will EAT your battery up though since it's oc'ed. I haven't experienced to bad but I can tell with just a lil bit more usage it would drain quick.
I would wait for Firefly (few hours till released) and try that. It's going to be fast, smooth, and perfect without being oc'ed. Will also have great battery life and GPS will work for sure. My friend told me this; he has the beta. Lol
Assonance.

Darkys v8!
Extremely stable, very fast, GPS is decent, battery life is *meh* i get about 12-13 hours on heavy to moderate usage but I charge it on my way home from work in the car.
Gingerbread themed, a lot of customation, very active developer, updates come out very easy to install ect.
Just my 2 cents
My recommendation is to become an addict and try them all.

I'm about to give my phone to my father and I was wondering what ROM offers the best battery life? He isn't much into technology so battery over performance is clearly what I'm looking for. I would hate to give him a phone that doesn't last through the day with moderate use....
This is coming from CM7 2.3.4. I'm lucky to get through the day starting on a full charge with very moderate use. In fact, my battery was nearly out after about 6 hours of use, and 2 hours it was on airplane mode! I just recently recalibrated my battery and it doesn't seem to be any better at all.... Kinda frustrating.
Thanks!
any of the aosp builds are really good but if u dont care about having gingerbread i would definitely go with aosp 9.9.2 froyo.
also aosp 9.9.2 works really good with collins ph batterry tweak and u can proably get three times better battery life with that if u do it right.
Honestly, even if it was eclair I don't think it would be a problem. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to try it out!

Yeah, I think I remember doing that tweak way back when, and it seemed to help a lot. That is the one and only thing I missed about Froyo-- that and the GPS .
and if he wants the sense look i would definitely go with nfx stock sprint rom.
Do you think sense is more newb friendly? That's what I've heard, and if so, I might do that cause, like I said, he's not very technologically literate....
its not that its noob friendly its just ascetically pleasing is all it is.
Alright, thanks! I'll give one of those two a go when I'm closer to upgrading to the EVO 3D (whenever that is).

Ive had ridiculous battery life on Aloysius.
I think its a 2.1. But it lasted the longest for me
Hey guys, I have been out of the Rom scene for a few months, in May I was using MIUI which was terrible, after that back to Insanity CM and now I am using the Surface Rom, which I got in like July. Therefore I am not up to date anymore; I really need a good Rom with some awesome battery life. Which would suit me the best?
And I am also using Google Authenticator, when I wipe install a new ROM will I lose all the data of Google authenticator, like with every other app? So I would have to use mybackup pro for example?
Miui battery life is terrible indeed.
I use Simplicity 1.1.1 for the moment and I am more then pleased with the battery life.
I've used a lot of different roms and this one is the best for me.
It's a very slim rom and you can add other stuff with the add-on feature.
I would say: Check it out
http://www.google.be/url?sa=t&sourc...uDgNUB&usg=AFQjCNF4F4UsgTpbVCCTrgR883FwN0bM9Q
Okay thanks for the reply How many hours can you go with it, w/o using wifi and all that other stuff.
With quite heavy use and wifi on all day: like 2 days.
That's tested with the 1.1 version, because the 1.1.1 is out since this noon
OH wow that sounds awesome. Thanks, I will check it out
I have to add that I always use Autorun Manager to avoid apps to start out of their own. And that's a real life saver for me.
App killers keep on killing the same apps that start over and over again. But this app won't let it start up in the first place.
Unless you open the app manually off course
So measuring better life can be a very personal issue.
Depending on the use of your phone and what kind of apps and sync processes are running.
I, for example don't sync Facebook nor twitter, only Gmail.
But try that rom out and see for yourself. If you're not pleased ... there are a lot of roms out there
Okay thanks for letting me know, yeah Simplicty looks cool. I will check that out
the main is a kernel. one of the best are speedmod and talon and galaxian
Well their is no way anyone can oppose me on this. DARKY ROM has the best battery life for sure no 2 nd thoughts in this. Darkyrom.com is the way to go for you. Well for stats I tried v10.2.2 and it literally drained 1% in 11 hours on standby and no wifi on. And 2% with wifi on in 8 hours.

Tight dude. I am getting this **** now. haha. This sounds godly
My previous rom was Darky 10.2.2 extreme edition and the battery drained on me.
That's why i went to simplicity...
But this can become an endless discussion and I'm not waiting for that
Just try out some roms and decide for yourself

I would answer you, but I don't know the answer, sorry
But people here seems to be a little bit too lazy to answer... I've noticed that, too
Several my questions just... lost in space :-D
As to the ROM. I've been using HoneyCore 2.0, it's based on Semaphore kernel, ROM is based on JVS 2.3.5. Unfortunately, for some reason its creator, CoreMaster, just stopped supporting it. What happened - have no idea. But battery life is nice. I don't know how it is in comparison with Darky. For instance, watching dvdrip takes about 15% of battery - i don't think it's much. Reading is about 4% per 20-30mins.
p.s. It would be nice if you made some measurement on the ROM you have chosen and publish here the numbers to compare
I have the best battery life till now on F1 innovation HD v7.0
I had my best battery life with stock 2.3.4 + Go Launcher Ex. Also, no auto sync, no location access, dark (leather - almost black) wallpaper. It lasted an average of two days, with the highest score being...wait for it.... 4 days!!! I attached a photo!
Cheers!
Hi guys, I got this phone for free with bell mobility as my 2nd phone for my business line. I'm going to be using this phone only to make phone calls. No internet, ever. No wifi, maybe some bluetooth once in a while. No games, no apps. I have a Galaxy nexus for that.
Which rom would be the best for good battery life?
Thanks guys
Talking about the battery life and from personal experience,I would suggest using MIUI rom. The battery lasts for at least 2-3 days(for me) with normal use(wifi,music etc),so should go a far way if only used for calls.
Alternatively, if you prefer Sense UI,I've heard good things about the battery life of Android Revolution HD.
Finally,it's always best to just test several roms yourself in real life situations for several days,and then picking the rom which suits you best.
after playing with it a bit I'm not a big fan of sense...
I'll give miui a try, thanks

What version of MIUI do you use? There are so many I was going to wait for the updated galnetmiui ics one.
I would take the CM7 Nightly#146 and edit the .zip file and remove all the .apk files from system/app that you don't need.
That will give you a very light ROM.
